Object:
Order For Confession And Forgiveness
P: In the name of the Father, and of the Son, + and of the Holy Spirit.
C: Amen.
The pastor proceeds with a reading of the Decalogue, and after each commandment, the congregation may respond,
C: Lord, have mercy.
Silence for self-examination and confession
P: O God of life,
C: you set before us all that we need to live together in peace. Break open our bondage to the false gods of this world. Turn our hearts to you and open our ears, so that trusting that our lives are in your hands we would walk into the future you have prepared for us.
P: God, our righteous judge, puts an end to our sin and his mercy brings us to life. As a called and ordained minister of the Church of Christ, and by his authority, I therefore declare to you the entire forgiveness of your sins. In the name of the Father, and of the Son, + and of the Holy Spirit.
C: Amen.
The Peace
P: When you are offering your gift at the altar,
if you remember that your brother or sister has something against you,
leave your gift there before the altar and go;
first be reconciled to your brother or sister,
and then come and offer your gift.
The peace of Christ be with you always.
C: And also with you.
Offertory Prayer
A: O God of every blessing,
C: our lives are in your hands. Receive these gifts as signs of our thanksgiving
to you for all that you have given us through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Amen.
Dismissal
L: You are God's servants. Go, and live out his goodness.
C: Thanks be to God.
